Quarter - life crisis

Recently everyone has been talking about the Quarter-life crisis, I thought it was just a bit of a joke until I did some looking into it.  So here is what the internet had to say about the quarter-life crisis:

  • It occurs shortly after a young person enters the real world (tick, I have been working for 3 years now).
  • A person begins to feel doubtful about their own lives, brought on by the stress of becoming an adult (tick, constant doubts about life path).
  • Common symptoms of a quarter life crisis are often feelings of being "lost, scared, lonely or confused".
  • Unemployment and choosing a career path is a major cause for young persons to undergo stress or anxiety (tick, been considering life selling coconuts on the beach in Indonesia)
  • Learning to cope without parental help (tick, although "cope without" is a loose term) 

I'm going to combat this quarter-life crisis (although I'm 1 year shy of it) by dip dying my hair (or contemplating it).
